Checking in with RMI's Kilimanjaro Climb!
All is well here in Tanzania and most of the team arrived late last night after some very long flights (20+hrs). It was a short and uneventful ride to our Lodge that is nestled in between Arusha and Moshi and not so far from the base of Kilimanjaro. The team had a quick dinner and headed for bed as the time change has us all feeling just a little off and pretty tired after all the traveling.
Today we had a leisurely morning with our official meeting at 9am, where we did a round of introductions and then discussed the upcoming program for the days ahead. We spent the remainder of the day getting our gear packed up, exploring the grounds of our peaceful lodge and avoiding the marauding
gang of monkeys that occasionally visit.
Vervet, Blue and Colobus are the 3 different species that are found close by.
We wrapped up the evening with another delicious meal and plenty of friendly conversations. Everyone is doing well and excited to hit the trail tomorrow and get a little bit of exercise.
